7、 I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts (甜甜圈) and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus. Every afternoon around four oclock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come t
8、o a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didnt mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missingalways repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time
9、, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived. I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their livesuntil one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four oclock. He identified himself as the
10、 father of two of my favorites. Iwant you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe.I told him it wasnt a big deal,
11、and that I enjoyed the kids. So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰场),who let my boys ring home; Or the bus driver wh
12、o drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldnt leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at workeven though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that

16、everything in lifeD.there are always no small acts of kindnessCGrowing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizingformulas(公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was slow. But my probl
17、em wasnt with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it. By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My ambition was to get an athlet
18、ic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school. The chances of that happening were very low. But that didnt stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around t
19、he country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship. I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they
20、 seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback(反馈). Until I got to college, I didnt really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious(耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular prob
21、lem. It wasnt easy, but it was fascinating. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept pursuing them, even though I couldnt always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math
22、 and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.8.Why did the writer think math class in school was something to be endured before enteri
23、ng college?A.Because he wasnt interested in math.B.Because his math teachers didnt care to push him.C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.9.According to the writer, students are affected by the following things from teachers
24、 orcoaches EXCEPT _ .A.a sense of purposeB.constant feedbackC.passionD.specific instructions10.We can conclude that after entering college, the writer _ .A.was busy looking for math problems to solveB.studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC.met with laborious calculations in his studiesD.b
25、egan to realize what mathematics really is11.What is the best title for the text?A.Interest is the best teacherB.Be the best-you can make itC.Math, taught like footballD.Once your teacher, always your teacherD The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance t
26、o African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals tha
27、t live in its habitat (栖息地). It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes(下层丛林), and pulls branches of
28、f big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their
29、 natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoof
30、ed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, gr
